Ok, so I think we as a Leverage fandom don't talk about Hardison enough. Him playing the violin is EVERYTHING. This episode genuinely makes me cry due to the beauty of him playing. The team do not give him enough credit, ever, and his talent is fucking incredible

Leverage 4x12- "The Office Job"

[my-beloved-lakes]

Ok Leverage friends, I'm back, but only for a minute cuz I have a question that randomly popped into my mind.

Like when you're referring to them all collectively, what do you call them? I had never really thought about it until now, but I just saw someone call them "the team" and for some reason that sounded weird to me, even though I think I've also called them that in the past. Like they're the leverage crew to me and anything else sounds wrong. Is it just me?

I like how leverage has a genius character and an autistic character but the autistic character isn't the genius character. the genius is a 22 year old black man with adhd who becomes an expert in anything you give him within 24 hours and the autistic character is a white woman who jumps off buildings for fun and once stabbed a man with a fork because he encroached on her personal space and sense of moral conduct

Sophie went "Hardison we'll need to to forge a historical book for a con well enough to fool an expert, something you have never done before" and he went "goddamnit" and then did it, I can absolutely see him making his own cosplays.

Of course Eliot knows how to sew, between his military service, medical skills, and the likelihood that he's slept with a seamstress or two. He can, at minimum, hem a pair of pants and do most types of repairs.

Hardison, though? Sure, word of God is that he makes the disguises that the team uses during cons, which could just mean he's ironing "FBI" transfer letters onto windbreakers.

HOWEVER.

Hardison is a cosplayer in the early 2010s. I did my first con cosplay at AnimeNext in '08. Before 2013 or so, you could not Google a character and find sales listings for a ready-made cosplay. If you wanted to cosplay a character who doesn't wear readily available normal clothes, you had two options: you either found someone who could sew and were very, very nice to them, or you learned how to make stuff yourself. I know several people who taught themselves how to sew by taking apart thriftstore finds for cosplay, and I had a side hustle taking on sewing and patterning commissions.

Hardison could have commissioned his first cosplay, but I think he'd get sucked in. He'd get really excited about computerized sewing machines. He'd get himself a machine that he can hack and reprogram so it's got extra stitches, multiple buttonhole settings, automatic seam guidance, a controlled heat setting that does a fused edge finish on synthetic fabrics. He digitizes his own embroidery patterns.

At some point Eliot asks to borrow a sewing machine because his job is as rough on his clothes as it is on his body, and he nearly has an aneurysm trying to do a basic darning patch on Hardison's beeping whistling computer-monster. A couple days later, a second sewing machine shows up. It's an old one with sturdy metal innards and mechanical dials to set stitch length and width. It has no screen, no control buttons, and only a handful of settings. One of them is a darning stitch.

And then Hardison deploys them to delay the bad guy at the end. XD

I need everyone to know that immediately after this Hardison headbutted a nearby bouncer who had nothing to do with the job they were on. Just to show how "assertive" he could be. It's the best.
